1.0 out of 5 stars HUGE waste of money!, April 6, 2004

What possessed me to spend $30 on a rubbery piece of velcro?! I have no idea! I bought this thing because I was so paranoid about taking my new iPod mini to the gym, and I thought I should play it safe and get the arm band. HUGE waste of money! I should have just bought one of those wrist bands you can get at Target for $1.50 and clipped my iPod to it using the belt clip that it came with. That would have been just as effective as the "official" iPod mini armband, and I would be $28.50 richer than I am right now.

2.0 out of 5 stars Destined for the back of a drawer, March 4, 2005

I found the armband to be uncomfortable and inconvenient. I think the upper arm is just a bad place to carry an iPod. The added weight is distracting when I'm running. Even worse is any activity that requires me to flex my biceps at all, so lifting weights is out. Put it on too tight, and I constrict the muscle. Loosen it a little, and the band slips off. There is no happy medium. Also, the earphone cord gets in the way more when it's leading from my arm.

The belt clip that came with my iPod mini works much better for me. I clip it on the waistband of my sweatpants when I'm working out and it remains very secure, even when I'm running on the treadmill. And the cord stays close to my body, where it is far less likely to get caught on something.

The only advantage of this product is that it lets you advertise to the world that you own an iPod mini. Big deal. My armband is destined to be forgotten in the back of a drawer at home.

2.0 out of 5 stars The clip is better, May 3, 2005

I bought the armband when I got my mini ipod. However, the belt clip that comes with the iPod is perfect to clip to my shorts while jogging. You don't need this large, clunky armband!
